Why does the frequency of a wave decrease as the wavelength increases?

1 answer:

6 0

Because the product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ... the wave speed. Since their product can't change, then obviously if one of them changes, the other one must change in the opposite direction.

In some cases, neither of the two equations in the system will contain a variable with a coefficient of 1, so we must take a fur

Margaret [11]

Answer:

D = -4/7 = - 0.57

C = 17/7 = 2.43

Explanation:

We have the following two equations:

$3C + 4D = 5\ --------------- eqn (1)\\2C + 5D = 2\ --------------- eqn (2)$

First, we isolate C from equation (2):

$2C + 5D = 2\\2C = 2 - 5D\\C = \frac{2 - 5D}{2}\ -------------- eqn(3)$

using this value of C from equation (3) in equation (1):

$3(\frac{2-5D}{2}) + 4D = 5\\\\\frac{6-15D}{2} + 4D = 5\\\\\frac{6-15D+8D}{2} = 5\\\\6-7D = (5)(2)\\7D = 6-10\\\\D = -\frac{4}{7}$

D = - 0.57

Put this value in equation (3), we get:

$C = \frac{2-(5)(\frac{-4}{7} )}{2}\\\\C = \frac{\frac{14+20}{7}}{2}\\\\C = \frac{34}{(7)(2)}\\\\C = \frac{17}{7}\\$

C = 2.43

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 43.0 vibrations

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

0.218

Explanation:

Given that

Total vibrations completed by the wave is 43 vibrations

Time taken to complete the vibrations is 33 seconds

Length of the wave is 424 cm = 4.24 m

to solve this problem, we first find the frequency.

Frequency, F = 43 / 33 hz

Frequency, F = 1.3 hz

Also, we find the wave velocity. Which is gotten using the relation,

Wave velocity = 4.24 / 15

Wave velocity = 0.283 m/s

Now, to get our answer, we use the formula.

Frequency * Wavelength = Wave Velocity

Wavelength = Wave Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = 0.283 / 1.3

Wavelength = 0.218

How long should a spring be stretched for it to store 45 J of energy? The force constant of the spring is

ELEN [110]

Answer:

x = 0.4 m

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched from its equilibrium position. Some energy is stored in the spring. This energy is called the elastic potential energy of the spring. The formula used to calculate the magnitude of this stored energy is given as follows:

P.E = (1/2)kx²

where,

P.E = Elastic Potential Energy Stored in the spring = 45 J

k = Spring Constant = 540 N/m

x = amount of stretching = ?

Therefore,

45 J = (1/2)(540 N/m)x²

x² = (45 J)(2)/(540 N/m)

x = √(0.167 m²)

x = 0.4 m
